I don’t think I’m missing anything. You’re just saying “I prefer prescriptivism. Mine.”

Maybe. A lot of people will truly believe Sierra Club to be “left” without understanding what that (used to?) mean. A descriptivist would say maybe that suggests the words’ meanings have changed.

If everyone is ignorantly incorrect maybe it’s just a different thing now.

I agree it has less utility as a word / set of words though.

In my experience in the US people use “left”, “liberal”, “socialist” etc synonymously (and mostly pejoratively). Same for “right”, “conservative”, etc.

Indeed. I can’t imagine doing native desktop development unless it was absolutely required for my project, and then I’d ask myself if maybe I shouldn’t just work on something else. All that work and it runs on one OS.

I think calling it scamming is incorrect. They are competing — successfully!

I don’t know, all the comments in that thread seem to think the story is bullshit. So I don’t think I’m too swayed.

It kind of sounds like you’re saying “as a representative sample of people in the US”. If this is the case you are wrong — plenty of people use these services.

If you’re just saying “you” then sure whatever, I put salsa on my toast.

You linked the wrong comment. I should like to read the right one.
